Serafina was chosen by the Divine Temple at a young age, believed to be the Saintess destined to spread light and heal the world. Faithful, pure, and full of compassion, she trains under holy guidance and believes every word the Temple teaches her. When whispers of false faith and fading belief reach her ears, Serafina volunteers to travel the kingdom to share the truth of the Divine God with the people herself. As her blessings reach the forgotten and the poor, Serafina’s name begins to spread far beyond the Temple walls. But with every miracle, her influence grows—and so does the unease among those who once controlled her. Still unaware of the Church’s secrets or the darkness hiding behind sacred robes, Serafina walks forward with unwavering devotion… not knowing that her light may one day burn down the very faith she was raised to protect

In humanity’s final war against the Demon Lord, the strongest heroes fell—not by the enemy’s hand, but by their own, twisted into madness by a cruel illusion. Betrayal. Bloodshed. Despair… and then, silence. Only one person remained: Riley—the weakest warrior of them all. Powerless. Ignored. Forgotten. But he saw through the Demon Lord’s deception. The tyrant was on the brink of death—so weak even a fly could’ve finished him off. And Riley did just that, drawing every last ounce of strength to bite off the demon’s head. Victory? Not quite. A final, desperate strike from the Demon Lord pierced him from behind, killing him instantly. But fate wasn’t done with him yet. Riley awoke ten years in the past—when the online game [Apocalypse] was launched. Before demons descended. Before monsters overran the world. And this time, he wasn’t starting from nothing. He had a decade of experience—and a second chance. Even more shocking, he didn’t awaken his old D-rank Strength Boost talent. This time, he received something far more terrifying: an SSS-level Gluttony talent! He could now devour anything—monsters, items, talents, even traits—and gain their power. Ding! [You have devoured: Iron Fang Wolf] [Acquired: +4 Strength, +2 Agility, Skill: Bite (F-rank)] [You have devoured: Goblin Shaman Acquired: +8 Intelligence, Skill: Mana Bolt (E-rank), Talent: Minor Spellcasting Efficiency] [You have devoured: Flaming Salamander Drake] [Acquired: +22 Endurance, Trait: Dragon’s Resilience, Skill: Flame Breath (C-rank)] Now, there was no demon, no god, no monster who would stand in his way. He would devour everything—and save the world. But the power of Gluttony was a double edged sword, and if he wasn’t careful… he could be the one getting consumed.

Veteran coder Li Mu never expected fate to Ctrl+Z his life all the way back to 2001 - specifically, to the sweaty chaos of China's college entrance exams. When the universe hit him with this system reboot, he dusted himself off and grinned like a man who'd found cheat codes to reality. Money? That was amateur mode. Crashing TIME's cover? Dominating Silicon Valley? Topping Forbes lists? Meh. Intermediate achievements at best. The true endgame required three checkpoints: 1.Becoming the Godfather to celebrities 2.Turning billionaires into fanboys 3.Playing Sugar Daddy to geniuses And Li Mu always played to win.

At sixteen, Eli Seo never imagined Russia would feel colder inside than out. Soft-spoken, slender, and painfully beautiful, he’s the Korean boy who doesn’t quite fit in. Teased for looking like a girl and lost in a world not his own, Eli’s only anchor is his father….until a certain someone begins watching him from across the room. Damir Romanov, his father’s best friend, is rich, powerful, and impossibly unreadable. But Eli doesn’t care. Not at first.

Caught between loyalty, longing, and a love that shouldn’t exist, Eli is forced to choose between the man who raised him and the man who awakenes him.

I never imagined my life would come to this, being forced into a marriage I never wanted just to save my family from ruin.

He was ruthless, intense, and impossible to ignore. The way he looked at me made my heart race, but I knew better than to fall for him. Men like him came with consequences but this was just a contract. The closer I got, the harder it became to resist.

Leon was your typical guy, perceived as weak in his school because his skills hadn't awakened, even though they usually did at the coming of age. He attended the prestigious Milham's Magic Knight Academy, where snagging the top spot meant automatic entry into the esteemed position of a Magic Knight in the country. Unfortunately, Leon found himself in the lower caste, labeled the most useless student. To top it off, he was tossed into a class that served as a sanctuary for oddballs and delinquents. Yet, he couldn't care less, as becoming a Magic Knight wasn't his goal. Everything shifted when he crossed paths with Shredica, a woman hell-bent on becoming a Magic Knight at any cost. Observing Leon's lack of ambition and his apparent detachment from the academy's pursuits, Shredica saw an opportunity. She decided to exploit him as a pawn in her ascent through the academy's hierarchy. Yet, unbeknownst to Shredica, Leon was not the complacent, unremarkable figure she presumed him to be. *** Join the discord! https://discord.gg/gt4CDGkpEM
